I am going for my pre op this wednesday. Have to have blood work. My blood count was down to 9 last week and just had my period, so I am sure it has probably dropped even more, The doc said they can do a blood transfusion during surgery. I have my bag packed and I guess I am ready. This is being done on the same day my oldest son goes to court and faces the judge with up to 25 yrs on the table. I am worried more about him than I am myself at this point. I have someone that is going to be at the hospital every minute that I am there. But My son won't allow anyone but his dad to go with him to court.
